Still blaming cholesterol for heart disease?

Most people are told to cut out eggs or take statins when their cholesterol is high. But here’s the truth: cholesterol isn’t the villain.

It’s your body’s repair crew — like bondo patching up an old car.

When cholesterol rises, it’s often because your body is repairing inflammation damage inside blood vessels.

Statins may drop the number on paper, but they don’t fix the root problem: the inflammation itself.

That’s why so many people still end up with heart issues, even when “numbers look good.”

The key isn’t lowering cholesterol — it’s addressing what’s causing the inflammation in the first place.

Think chronic stress, seed oils, hidden infections, poor sleep.

What’s one lifestyle change you’ve made for your heart health?

Want a deeper look at what’s really driving your cholesterol?

Brain fog isn’t always a brain problem — it often starts in the gut.

The gut and brain are connected through a hotline called the vagus nerve. When the gut is inflamed, that inflammation doesn’t stay put — it travels straight to the brain.

That’s why brain fog often shows up alongside bloating, constipation, or stomach pain.

More caffeine or quick-fix supplements won’t solve brain fog. The root cause lies in healing the gut — because when the gut thrives, the brain follows.

Have you noticed your gut issues and brain fog showing up together?

Ever been told your hormone test is 'normal' — but you still feel exhausted, moody, or out of balance?

That’s because most standard tests miss the bigger picture. A single blood draw, often taken on the wrong day, is like watching only Timon & Pumbaa and thinking you know the entire Lion King plot.

Your hormones shift daily, and blood tests can’t capture those rhythms. That’s why so many women are dismissed when their labs say 'NORMAL,' but their bodies say otherwise.

Functional medicine takes a different approach. With DUTCH testing, we track hormone patterns over time, uncover how your body processes them, and find answers that actually match how you feel.

If you’ve been frustrated by 'normal' test results that don’t explain your symptoms, it’s time to dig deeper.

Still constipated no matter how much fiber you eat? You might be making one of these 5 hidden mistakes.

Many adults think constipation is just about eating fiber and drinking water — but when the gut is inflamed, those “healthy” habits can backfire.

From raw veggies that sit in your gut, to low stomach acid, cheap magnesium supplements, skipping healthy fats, and an imbalance in gut bacteria — these mistakes silently keep you stuck.

The good news? With the right approach, constipation doesn’t have to control your life.

Watch this reel to uncover the 5 surprising mistakes and what to do instead.

Which of these habits are you guilty of? Share below!

Think diet soda helps with weight loss? The truth may shock you.

Many people swap regular soda for diet soda, believing “no sugar = no problem.”

But the artificial sweeteners in diet soda can actually trick your body, spike insulin, and lead to insulin resistance.

This keeps you stuck in fat-storing mode, fueling cravings and slowing your metabolism.

The reality? Diet soda isn’t a weight loss hack — it’s a hormonal trap. By swapping it out for carbonated water or herbal teas, you can support your metabolism, balance hormones, and finally move toward sustainable weight loss.

Have you ever noticed cravings or fatigue after drinking diet soda?

Your health journey shouldn’t be sabotaged by hidden traps.

Stop starving yourself — it’s not fixing your belly fat.
Most people battling stubborn belly fat think eating less is the answer, but crash diets only make things worse.

We teach patients simple, sustainable strategies that address the root cause of belly fat:

- Eating enough protein to fire up metabolism & crush cravings
- Walking just 10 minutes after meals to balance blood sugar
- Avoiding late-night snacks so your body burns, not stores, fat

Belly fat isn’t about willpower. It’s about inflammation, hormones, and strategy.

What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to belly fat — diet, exercise, or late-night snacking?

“Why am I always freezing when everyone else is fine?” It’s one of the most common complaints patients bring to functional medicine clinics.

While many assume it’s just their thyroid, two often-overlooked root causes can explain why your body can’t stay warm:

1️. Not enough protein or healthy fats → Your body lacks the fuel to generate heat.

2️. Low iron levels → Without oxygen delivery, your system slows down and you feel cold from the inside out.

The good news? When you support your body with the right nutrients and address deficiencies, your energy rises, your metabolism improves, and you don’t need a sweater in July.

Do you often feel cold while everyone else is comfortable?

If you’ve been struggling with cold hands, fatigue, or low energy, it may be time to dig deeper than “normal labs.” Our team looks for root-cause answers, not band-aids.

'NoORMAL' labs but still don’t feel healthy? You’re not alone.

Far too many adults are told everything looks fine, yet deep down they know something’s wrong. That’s because most standard labs only detect disease — not how your body is actually functioning.

At our clinic, we look deeper. Three often-overlooked labs — total protein, C-reactive protein, and white blood cells — can reveal issues with gut health, inflammation, premature aging, or hidden infections. These are the root-cause insights most traditional care misses.

Have you ever been told your labs were fine but still didn’t feel fine?

If your labs are 'normal' but your body is saying otherwise, it may be time for a different approach.

Most doctors treat PCOS symptoms. Few explain the real root cause.

PCOS isn’t just about irregular periods or hormone imbalance — it’s often tied to insulin resistance, sometimes even called 'Type 3 diabetes.' When blood sugar spikes, estrogen rises, making symptoms worse.

That’s why in our clinic, we focus on three simple but powerful shifts:
1️. Cut refined flour + sugar.
2️. Pair every meal with protein + healthy fats.
3️. Walk 10 minutes after eating to lower blood sugar spikes.

Which of these 3 steps would be the hardest for you to start with?

If you’re tired of band-aid solutions, it’s time to dig deeper.

🚫 Not all protein bars are created equal… most are
just candy bars in disguise.

Many adults trying to “eat healthy” grab protein
bars for convenience. But here’s the truth — most
bars are loaded with fake ingredients, artificial
sweeteners, and sugar levels that wreck gut health
instead of supporting it.

That’s why Dr. Forrest Sauer shares 3 simple rules
he follows when choosing a protein bar:

1️. At least 15g of protein from a real source
(whey isolate, egg whites, or beef protein — not
hydrolyzed soy).

2️. Less than 6g of sugar per bar — with natural
sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or dates.

3️. Ingredients you actually recognize. If it reads
like a science experiment, put it back.

Because your body deserves fuel, not fake health.

Struggling with brain fog?
The root cause might surprise you.

Many adults assume their brain is
to blame for forgetfulness, poor focus,
or mental 'cloudiness.'

But in functional medicine, we know
the real issue often begins in the gut.

Here’s why: your gut and brain are
constantly talking through the vagus
nerve.

When you eat sugary snacks, flavored
yogurts, or granola bars, you feed
harmful bacteria in your gut.

That inflammation then travels to your
brain — leading to fog, fatigue, and
frustration.

The good news? By calming gut
inflammation and removing the foods
that fuel it, you can finally think clearly
again — without spending hundreds
on supplements.

What’s your go-to strategy when brain fog hits?

Think you’re eating “healthy” but still feeling off?

Many adults struggling with fatigue,
mood swings, or stubborn weight
don’t realize their food choices may
secretly be disrupting their hormones.

Functional medicine experts know that
it’s not just about supplements or
workouts — if your chemical
messengers (hormones) are out of
balance, nothing else works.

Here are 3 foods that often look 'health'
but wreak havoc on your hormones:

1️. Protein bars packed with sugar alcohols + artificial ingredients.

2️. Flavored yogurts spiking insulin + disrupting estrogen/testosterone.

3️. Seed oils (soybean, canola, vegetable) hiding in processed foods.

The good news?

Once you remove these from your
diet and swap them for whole,
nourishing foods, your body finally
gets the chance to heal and balance
itself naturally.

strategies for hormonal health?
